IT MAY not be so hard to protect Linux from malicious attacks, but it becomes hard to protect it from Novell, Microsoft, and Mono. This triplet is self-beneficial and it works to the detriment of others. One of our readers warned about what he called “Mono intrusion”, pointing to this new thread. “‘SElinux GUI’ requires mono as [a] dependency,” he explains. Stefano added that “it’s just the admin panel [...] the SELinux admin GUI [is] in Mono.”

For future reference:

Hi All…

I download a package call SEAdmin (new SELinux GUI) and it seems that I required mono for running it.

Since I am very fresh to Fedora, my question is how to install/download mono

The lunacy of the EPO with its patent maximalism will likely go unchecked (and uncorrected) if Battistelli gets his way and turns the EPO into another SIPO (Croatian in the human rights sense and Chinese in the quality sense)

Another long installment in a multi-part series about UPC at times of post-truth Battistelli-led EPO, which pays the media to repeat the lies and pretend that the UPC is inevitable so as to compel politicians to welcome it regardless of desirability and practicability

Implementing yet more of his terrible ideas and so-called 'reforms', Battistelli seems to be racing to the bottom of everything (patent quality, staff experience, labour rights, working conditions, access to justice etc.)

"Good for trolls" is a good way to sum up the Unitary Patent, which would give litigators plenty of business (defendants and plaintiffs, plus commissions on high claims of damages) if it ever became a reality

Microsoft's continued fascination with and participation in the effort to undermine Alice so as to make software patents, which the company uses to blackmail GNU/Linux vendors, widely acceptable and applicable again
